With mind-boggling Drill and Bass inspired rhythms and IDM-ish keyboard textures; Variance is the much-anticipated third full-length release from Manchester native Jega. Although the ground covered in his latest is not so much "new," Jega has culminated his talents to successfully carve out niche for himself in the electronica genre. Mark my words: Jega will be a major player in IDM because of this release. -- Alex Slawson & Herman Snell
